I’ll be quite honest – trying to read Patchwork Girl on my own was… difficult. Now I am not sure if it was my computer or if it was my inability to follow the .pdf guidelines, but surely something was working against me. I would click here, and something would pop-up there – a jumbled mess, in my opinion, with no direction or any conceivable end results. However, at the lecture I was enlightened by the truth of her work, and I was astonished at how well it was written – how well it made me connect, and how it made me feel the words she wrote, more than just listening to them.

Her whole approach to writing, reading, and everything in between baffled me at first, but I think that’s just because she hit the nail on the head. I sensed right off the bat that she knew what she was talking about, instead of talking about something she knew – her dedication to literature, and to animation is ever-clear and her ideas were equally as amazing. She really gave me an insight into the fabrication that writing truly is – a piece by piece construction of our own entity – be it a monster, or be it something else, and this I really enjoyed.
